"It is just frustrating because we've only really just started and it has put a pause on things."

"Hopefully we can do some fundraising and in the long run we can get a van back."

The centre is open to all 8 to 12-year-old school children.

For students interested in attending the homework centre or those interested in making donations of education materials and resources, call Ethiopian Sports & Cultural Club manager Mesganaw Bitul on 828 9942 or 021 058 6134.
